My sister got a Bluetooth headset and it reminded me that i cant use those because my ears heat up in less than 10 seconds after putting them on, in fact as i am typing this my ears are kinda of uncomfortably hot. Dust also cause my ears to heat, it usually the cause but it can also happen randomly as well as when i leave the PC monitor running when i sleep(same room).

there is some other stuff i thought to mention but i think it would be better for a post after discovering your body(e.g my cousin though all ppl can only see through one eye until recently because he himself can only see through one eye and that's how he found out he has only one functioning eye)

Also feel free to talk about NSFW stuff and is this post hard to read(sentence structure wise)? Cause i never know if ppl have hard time reading my post, and at the moment i find it hard to read myself

Sometimes if I take too big a gulp of water at once, the little bone near my adam's apple clicks out of place and I have to manually reset it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

Hey! Me too. I thought I was the only one. Happens when I yawn sometimes too.

I have a few

A Dexa scan I had done revealed that I have an incredibly dense skeleton in the top 1% of the US national database. It sounds neat but it does absolutely nothing to stop all the soft tissue damage that sports accumulates.

A genetic test revealed I have the super taster gene, some things taste godly but mostly things people like taste bad to me. Coffee, beer, wine for instance are all repulsive.

I have no refractory period. I can pretty much have sex as long as I want and cum over and over again. Record for a single session was 19 with a kinky femdom I used to play with. Despite what all of those female rap songs tell you, there actually aren't very many women that are ready for Mr all night when he shows up.

I heal incredibly fast, I had major surgery and I blew past all the normal milestones for recovery.

I have central heterochromia in both eyes which I'm told is attractive

I also likely have the genes for FNSS (familial natural short sleep) which basically just means that I am genetically predisposed to only require 4 to 5 hours Sleep a night to feel completely refreshed.

I can scoop a spit bubble up off the bottom of my mouth with my tongue, fold my tongue around it, and blow the bubble out of my mouth, and it floats to the ground.

When I'm in a hypnagogic state (between awake and sleeping) I can look through my eyelids.
They're still closed, but I can see the room through them.
I know it's not real, and if something were to quietly change in the room, I wouldn't be able to see it, but it still feels weird.
I can also pinpoint the moment when I'll fall asleep, and sometimes go directly from being awake to dreaming.
Which has the nice side effect that I'm aware I'm dreaming, and the dream world feels just as realistic as if I was awake, except I can control everything in it.

I sometimes feel the same thing at different spots of my body.

Like if someone pinches the skin on my back I could feel the pain of the pinch on my shoulder as well.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago

Me too! If I'm scratching or picking at my skin, sometimes I feel it somewhere else, so I figured it's normal and just nerve signals being connected somehow, but never spoken about it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago

Mentally perceive sounds as color. I don't get the visual effect as with true synesthesia but more like my mind says "that sound is blue" when I hear it.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

When I have to shit really bad I can feel a pain in my forearm. Not like a painful pain but more like a tingling sensation in only my left forearm.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

How strange! When I have to pee really badly, I feel it in my teeth. Is that weird or normal?! My past partners have never had this uncomfortable tingling sensation from it. I always clench my jaw and wiggle to try and ease the feeling. Obviously also go pee.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

I have hypermobility, but a mild form that just lets me bend my fingers back without any of the major problems associated with it.

My hands and feet are slightly adhesive when they're any wetter than bone dry, so you can hear a faint peeling sound when I walk barefoot in the house, even a little bit on short carpet. Think peeling scotch tape and reduce it by 50%.

I can also control the muscles responsible for equalizing the pressure in my ears, and that allows me to put them under a slight vacuum to slightly dampen loud noises.

I also have long toes. Not to the extent of a chimp, but I have successfully signed my name with them before (though even lower quality than signing with my left hand).

I also cannot cry from cutting onions. This sounds awesome until you're cutting 3 bags of onions in one go and you learn that the tears dilute the sulfuric acid that forms. That was a painful evening.

When laying in dark, any smallest sound makes a bright flash appear in my eyes, before I realize there was a sound. So I am always surprised when it happens, and fraction of a second later I realize there was a sound. So it's Synesthesia, but from Wish.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago

Ha! This happens to me as well! I do have a funny slight extra detail though. I can't really visualise images in my minds eye (almost aphantasia), but when I'm closing my eyes to go to sleep, and a sudden noise happens, I see a flash of white like you, but also usually some random af detailed image flash in my minds eye. It's so weird, always different, always amusing, and the closest I get to visualising. It could be anything, like a old woman in a cowboy hat riding a horse or whatever. Also, I have slight grapheme-colour synesthesia, so it's interesting that you called it wish synesthesia! I wonder if it plays some role!

im not kidding when i drink milk, my stool ends up with blood. I thought I was lactose intolerant but I do need to check.

So far with lactose free milk im okay! so i can still eat cereal :)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 13 hours ago

Lactose intolerance should just cause indigestion, not bloody stool. Definitely check with your doctor.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 21 hours ago

I can wiggle my little toes independently.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If I hold my pee for too long, I struggle to start peeing. It'll weakly dribble but some will come out, then about 5 minutes later I can piss normally. It's bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Guessing you're a male? Similar issue here too. Gets worse as you get older I've found.

I can dislocate my joints at will. Thing with Ehlers-Danlos but it's a nice party trick
